The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is facing an uproar today after someone made the decision to post a job opening on the federal government's official employment website seeking applicants willing to “use deadly force.”
The controversy comes at a politically sensitive time. On Sunday, Vice President Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote after all 50 Senate Democrats voted to pass the Inflation Reduction Act.
Already, some Republicans have begun calling the massive tax-and-spending bill “The IRS Expansion Act,” as it gives the IRS enough funding to hire an additional 87,000 agents.
The job posting is for IRS “Criminal Investigation Special Agents,” who would be assigned to the agency's law enforcement branch.
It was briefly deleted but has since reappeared back online.
A “key requirement” for applicants is that they have to be “legally allowed to carry a firearm,” and “major duties” include “Carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary” and “Be willing and able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments,” according to the job posting.
An initial search of USAJobs, the site where the now-viral post and application link appears, doesn't show any additional IRS law enforcement job postings.
The Post notes how the controversy is exacerbated by the Democrats' decision to push for a bigger IRS:
Senate Democrats projected that enhancing IRS funding could add an extra $124 billion in federal revenue over the next decade by hiring more tax enforcers who can crack down on rich individuals and corporations attempting to evade taxes.
But Republicans warn the bill will fund an army of IRS agents to crack down on small business owners and lower-income workers. Americans who earn less than $75,000 per year are slated to receive 60% of the additional tax audits expected under the Democrats' spending package, according to an analysis released by House Republicans.
…
The analysis, which is a conservative estimate based upon recent audit rates and tax filing data, shows that individuals with an annual income of $75,000 or less would be subject to 710,863 additional IRS audits, while those making more than $1 million would receive 52,295 more audits under the bill.
Democrats, from the president on down, continue to insist that individuals making under $400,000 will not be targeted under the Inflation Reduction Act.

Take our guns then arm IRS agents…nothing to see here
Biden’s Brown Shirts. Can you say “Gestapo”, my friends?
It does seem like history is repeating its self, only on this side of the Atlantic this time.
Biden, or really his handlers, seem hellbent on driving this country into the second civil/revolutionary war. Their actions sure seem to be heading that direction. When it happens, and there are millions of weapons in the hands of the people that will not go quietly. The fighting will further divide and tear this country apart, and we will see the end of the United States of America. What will are military do, shoot down the people they are suppose to be defending?
Can we now say that “we are in the middle of a communist revolution” Right in the middle of it”. The FBI raid on the former president Donald Trump and now the IRS hiring of more agents on job boards. That is what it sounds like.
Expecting a Coup??
You can bet all those audits will be strictly Trump voters. Democrat voters will be immune.
I beg to differ democrat voters will be investigated also there just want be anything wrong found with their returns with the exception of unusually large donations to the DNC and individual democrat politicians
Not when Trump returns, then the shoe is on the other foot.
They need to know that deadly force will be met with the same.
Disband the IRS before it’s too late !
Doesn’t this sound like a job description for the KGB of the old Soviet Union? How ’bout it, Gospodin Putin?
Someone should post side by side the recruitment ads of drag queens for national and global defense in our military and IRS agents carrying firearms committing deadly force against American taxpayers.
DON’T FORGET ALL THE AMMINTION THAT WENT TO SOCIAL SECURITY.

Since this threatening addition to arm the IRS is happening under the Biden/Harris administration, we should call them by a new name “the democratic party threat to all citizens by the freedom removal cadre”. This is where the Germans were in the 30’s…Wake Up America, if we aren’t alert, history can repeat its self.
This is why IRS purchased more ammo than any other Fed Agency over the past two years. They’re coming for your guns, they’re coming for your money, and then they’re coming for you.
The job for IRS sound a lot like Gusstopo work it doesn’t state anything about good workman ship more interested agent being able to use deadly force. We know what that means.
Neal Boortz said it so well in one of his books: beware taxation! It gives your Government the power to seize YOUR money at the point of a gun. He also told us: allow the DemoCreeps one more chance to gain the ascendancy and then Good Night America.
